Gracie Mae Davidson, 86, of Gainesville, MO passed away April 10, 2020 at Gainesville Healthcare Center. She was born on June 28, 1933 to Saul and Maggie (Lawson) Strong at Hardenville, MO.
Gracie was a retired cook and homemaker. She attended grade school at Faye and graduated from Gainesville High School in 1951. Gracie and Harold Davidson were united in marriage on July 9, 1951 in Mountain Home, AR. To this union five children were born: Kay, Harold “Bub”, Rosemary, Debbie & Sandra Davidson.
Gracie was a gifted cook and loved cooking for people. She was a diehard Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Cardinals fan. She was so excited when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, she wouldn’t wear anything but her Chiefs sweatshirt for a week. Gracie loved playing solitaire and Bub said she won a lot.

Gracie accepted Christ as her Savior on November 29, 2017.
